Civil Use of UAS
Unmanned aerial systems have a long association with military uses. So, plans to expand their civil applications are generating a lot of heat.

  This sponsored series of magazine articles by GNSS experts covers pressing issues for engineers, designers, manufacturers and policy makers of the global satellite navigation systems. It is underwritten by NovAtel, a Canadian manufacturer of high-precision GNSS OEM systems and components. Thought Leadership series topics include:
• How vulnerable is GNSS? Columns
January/February 2013
GNSS and UbiquityOmnipresence. GNSS systems are global by nature, but they can’t provide reliable positioning anytime, anywhere. Meet their new friends.
November/December 2012
GNSS Positioning and Precise TimingWhen it comes to GNSS, everybody talks about location, location, location. But shouldn’t it really be time, time, time? So much critical infrastructure depends on GNSS-provided time - communications, banking and finance, emergency services, electrical power grids, to name a few.
September/October 2012
GNSS AugmentationsFive to ten meters might seem like pretty good real-time accuracy. But not when you’re landing an airplane or guiding a farm vehicle through a field.
July/August 2012
Interference & JammingPersonal privacy devices. LightSquared. Solar max. It can be a hostile world out there for GNSS technology.
March/April 2012
GNSS ModernizationAs the world’s GNSS systems gain traction in building out constellations with new capabilities, what can be done to achieve maximum benefits?
January/February 2012
Challenges in GNSS /INS IntegrationInertial technology, rather than being eclipsed by GNSS, has found new life on its own and in integrated systems. But engineers from both sides of the divide have much to learn about the other. This is one in a series of sponsored articles by NovAtel.
November/December 2011
Solar Max and Space Weather PredictionSpace weather—lots of people are talking about it, but can we do anything about it? The current solar cycle will peak in May 2013. What will that mean for GNSS equipment designers and users?
September/October 2011
Multiple GNSS: Compatibility & InteroperabilityRapidly proliferating numbers of satellites mean more signals available for use. But could we end up having too much of a good thing?
July/August 2011
Inertial technology, MEMS, and GNSSIn one form or another, inertial technologies preceded the advent of GNSS by many decades. Today, GNSS has captured the spotlight: But is there room — and a need — for more?
May/June 2011
RF Spectrum Allocations, Interference, and GNSS Receiver DesignHere’s a cold, hard fact about radio frequency spectrum: it’s finite, and no one is making any more of it. And here’s another fact: It’s crowded.
